Lawyers continue to come forward to say Republican's key law professor misrepresented their words

May 21, 2020



When the Republicans needed a law professor to stand with them against the impeachment of Donald Trump, they employed Jonathan Turley to explain that the Democrats hadn’t met the burden to vote to impeach. There was a score of law professors who disagreed and had the citations to prove it.

Since then, Turley has come in conflict with other legal experts and scholars when it comes to his writing.

According to former ethics czar Walter Shaub, Turley five lawyers who have come forward to say that their words were “misrepresented” in his writing.

“At some point, he may have to admit to himself that he’s the problem,” said Shaub.
